which the following is a specification, the

principle of the invention being herein explained and the best mode inwhich I have contemplated applying that principle, so as to distinguishit from other inventions.

This invention relates to a stove oven entry and more particularly to adevice of adapted for use upon this general character domestic stoves.

The object of my invention is to i provide a door or doors in a door,that is to say, one or more doors of a stove mounted upon another doorand adapted to move bodily with it and besides be adapted to havemovement independently of it.

Adverting to the drawings Figure I is a front elevation of a do-- mesticgas stove embodying my invention showing all of its doors closed. I

Fig. II is a similar view showing the'pair of small doors open. 7

Fig. III is a similar view showing the larger door opened.

The stove comprises a rectangular frame 1 mounted on legs 2 and providedwith a top 3. Interiorly of the frame is an oven 4 having only its frontside open. 'Such oven opening is adapted to be closed by a large door 5hinged to the front of the frame at the two points designated by thereference numerals 6 so that it is adapted to swing downwardly to theposition shown in Fig. II, The larger door 5 carries a handle 7.

The door 5 is itself provided withtwo openings 8 each of which isadapted to be closed by a pair of smaller doors 9, hinged each at a pairof superposed points 10 upon the larger door. both provided with handles11 and, according to the exemplification illustrated by the drawingsswing. in opposite directions sub-' stantially transverse to theswinging move I ment of the larger door 5.

The smaller doors 9 are' It is to be understood that I do not mean toconfine my invention either to the shape, hinging or relativedisposition of thedoors as shown, and the two or more smaller doorscould be hinged either along the middle line or at the top or bottom ofthe large door or instead of being hinged at all could slide past eachother.

. As will be readily understood the door arrangement according to myinvention enables either unrestricted access to the entire oven spaceavailable or to specific divisions thereof.

1. A stove comprising an oven, a vertical partition thereacross, a doorcarried by said stove'and affording entry to both sides of saidpartition, and a pair of doors carried by said first mentioned door soas to be movable away from said partition and each affording entry toonly one side thereof, said pair of doors being movable in unisonwith'the first or independently eitherof it or eachother.

2. The combination with a stove oven having a partition forming a pairof laterally adjacent oven chambers, of a main door'for closing saidoven chambers and having a portion contacting with said partition, saidmain door carrying an auxiliary door in a lateral portion thereofaffording access to only one of said chambers.

The combination with a stove oven havingseparated oven chambers arrangedone alongside of the other, of a main door frame provided with a pair ofauxiliary door openings likewise arranged'alongside of a each other, apair'of doorspivotally mounted on the main door frame and adapted toclose said auxiliary door openings.

4:. The combination with a stove oven having a pair of laterallyadjacent oven chambers, of a main door for closing both of said ovenchambers, said main door having an auxiliary door affording access toonly :one of said oven chambers, whereby the heat may be restricted tothat oneof said oven chambers to which said auxiliary of A ril, 1919.
